When was the last time we had an exciting deadline day signing?

Jordan Bowery!
I nearly spat my mouthful of red wine on the living room mat.

Indeed outrageous that he overlooked Joleon Lescott 2 years later

Djemba Djemba was a deadline day signing wasn’t he? Jermaine Jenas as well….

I think squad is improved by comings and goings overall but first team does have big hole to fill.

As others pointed out lack of GK cover and the central midfield means we are a bit short there. See if Sansom turns out to be goof enough.

I like we have options of Bailey, Buendia, Traore, Ollie, Ings and El Ghazi and who knows with Archer which gives us enough fire power to score a fair few.

Has largely been a positive window, with good early business done. However, have to agree with many posters on here, our midfield looks lightweight and if Steer got injured whilst Martinez was away we'd be truly bolloxed.

Think we've took our eye off the ball a bit here......

How many games does Martinez miss exactly

According to us 1. According to Argentina maybe more. Each international break.

How many teams have a 3rd choice keeper that they'd trust to start a run of games? Sinisalo had a very good loan out to Ayr and deserves a chance to be involved with the seniors in my opinion.

Maybe I’m wrong but, talk at the start of the transfer window, was about moving up a notch in the table with new signings being made. Not sure we have really achieved that and, realistically, looking at half way up the table being a positive. So, I’m a little underwhelmed and don’t think we’ve taken that next step.

What level is the Scottish Championship though? Surely League 1 at best. Not saying he’s not a good player (never seen him play) but not sure I’d trust him to be our number one yet, having only played against the likes of Alloa and Queen of the South.

Not that worried about our GK options. All the ones we were linked with were crap and far worse than Steer imo, so Mark Bunn type players and not expected to play.

I am worried that our Central Midfield will continue to be overrun in games and I think we will struggle to finish as high as last season.

Injuries and players missing through internationals seems unbelievable too, particularly as the season has only just started.

Mat?

Just like that dining club where all waiters are referred to as ‘Charles’, BE calls all his staff ‘Mat’.

He spat the wine over living room Mat, rather than kitchen Mat or dining room Mat ;) :)
